The places that shaped me. 🇪🇪
I grew up in a small country town near Tartu, surrounded by forests, quiet roads and nature.
Tartu showed me that even a small city can have a vibrant café culture, beautiful old streets, and places where people simply slow down and connect.
One thing Tartu and Brisbane have in common is the river that runs through the heart of the city. Every time I walk along the Brisbane River, it reminds me a little of home.
Maybe that’s why Lumen became what it is—a little piece of Estonia, shared over good coffee. 🤍

Places that taught me to slow down. 🇪🇪
Some of my favourite memories aren’t tied to cities or landmarks.
They’re quiet walks by the Baltic Sea, endless pine forests and wooden boardwalks disappearing into nature.
Growing up in Estonia, these places taught me that slowing down isn’t wasting time—it’s how you notice the things that matter.
That feeling became part of Lumen.
A place to pause.
A place to sip.
A place to connect.

Cafés that inspired Lumen 🇪🇪
Before Lumen Café Lounge found its home in Brisbane, it began with countless mornings spent in cafés across Estonia.
Every place had its own personality, but they all shared something in common: great coffee, thoughtful food and a space that invited you to slow down.
Those moments shaped the vision behind Lumen more than I ever realised.
This is the first post in a series where I’ll be sharing little pieces of Estonia—the cafés, landscapes and traditions that continue to inspire what Lumen is today.
